S1 Visit to Stepps Primary
Five of our S1 girls are going to be going to Stepps Primary to speak to P6 and P7.
The girls will be speaking to them about coming to High School and asking them questions about what they’re looking forward to when they are at High School.
They have also made up some fun activities and games for them to do. For example, they will give the pupils the chance to write their own timetables, write any questions they want to ask and lots more.
They also decided that they are going to show them their timetable to let them see what a real timetable looks like.
The girls are really excited about sharing their experiences of first year with the pupils and hope that the primary pupils will learn more and feel better about coming to Chryston High School.

Chryston HS part of the Smart Choice: German network
Chryston High School has now been named as the first Scottish school on the Goethe Institut’s Smart Choice: German network.
The network recognises the school’s commitment to German as a foreign language and the support that the school offers to our feeder primary schools.
Part of the project involves setting up a digital network which will allow us to strengthen our partnership with our feeder primary schools while promoting the benefits of learning German.
A number of events will also be organised to support primary-secondary transition to give pupils a flavour of what to expect when they come to Chryston High School. By working more closely with out primary partners, we can help pupils build on their skills and knowledge from primary and ensure that they are ready to continue their language-learning journey into the secondary and beyond
There will be an official launch in January. For more details, contact Mr Kirk.
German Concert with Martina Schwarz
Yesterday’s concert, held in conjunction with the Goethe Institut in Glasgow, was a roaring success. Over two sessions, P5-7 pupils from our 5 cluster primary schools had the opportunity to take part in an interactive concert in German to reinforce some of the language they have been learning at school.
Pupils sang along to songs, danced the Animal Tango and used props to help their understanding.
Thanks again to the Goethe Institut and Martina Schwarz for helping us to strengthen our transition programme with the primary schools.
